Anteriorest®

Back Support From The Front

Designed by a physical therapist certified in spine care, the Anteriorest® successfully address the muscular strain most commonly responsible for dental career-related back pain (including neck and extremities) by providing frontal, hands-free support for an inclined working position.

This simple device transforms your existing patient chair into an ergonomic working station, allowing you to maintain an inclined rest position while continuing to work in the familiar way that allows optimized proximity with your patient.

After only about nine years of practicing full time, Dr. Stephen Johansen was starting to think he might have to make a career change.

He was only in his late 30s, but the pain in his lower back was so severe he didn’t know how much more he could take. The thought of giving up his dental practice before he even turned 40 was a scary one, so he spent a lot of time looking for solutions. He came across a Dental Town thread about Career Extender’s AnterioRest (anteriorestdental.com) and thought what did he have to lose, he’d give it a try. That decision helped to save his career. He noticed improvements in his back after only a few days.

This just isn't the way the human body is designed to work and we pay for it with our spines. I personally know several doctors who either suffer from chronic spinal issues or have had to leave practice due to these same issues...
